"Jack the Slasher," the negro who did so much mutilating of furniture, pictures, carpets, &c, in Washington some time ago, is pleading Insanity. He says he bad a mania for that kind of exercise.

He doesn't seem to object, however, to being an appendage to the Re publican party on the tariff question Daniel Baugh, a farmer of Indiana but originally of Kentucky, who started out right by voting for An drew Jackson, is still enjoying life at the age of 102.

Tbe 0eaon for 1892 "93 Ended and the Hew Beaton Opened The Beaulta of Overproduction Tbe Efforts to Keep Production Down-Predictions for tlx. New Crop. The News giyes the annexed interest ing details concerning the naval stores season just closed: Savannah's naval stores season of 1893-94 ended yesterday and tbe new season opened. The receipts of spirits turpentine up to the close of the season were 259,711 casks) against 277.61T casks for the pre ceding season; of these, 258,889 were Shipped either coastwise or foreign, leaving a stock of 10,265 cssks on band, against 7,443 casks a year 8go. The receipts of rosin for the crop year just ennded were 953,011 barrels. against 1,039,198 barrels for the preced ing season. The total shipments were 915,628 barrels, against 1.002.659 barrels the previous year. Tbe stock on hand and on ship board at the close of the season was 105.961 barrels, against 68,573;barrels for the preceding season. While tbe receipts and shipments of naval stores have been lest than they were for the season of 1892-93, which was toe largest season ever known in Savannah, there has evidently been an over production. THE RESULTS OF OVER PRODUCTION. The markets have been dull for spirits turpenline and were made on too small a margin for reasonable profits. The only redeeming feature in the market last season was an occasional spurt in pale rosins, which contributed consider ably to equalizing the low prices ol spirits,; and giving some financial en couragement to the producer. The efforts of the factors and pro ducers to. reduce tbe production have been successful to a considerable degree, but prices have, nevertheless, remained low, and there is no immediate cause for a substantial advance, as the stocks are daily increasing and the demand is limited. I The season has been marked by several notable features in the naval stores bus iness. ; Spirits fluctuated greatly, having been as low as cents, and the boom in pale rosins canted producers to anti cipate high prices this year, and there fore decide to cut new "boxes" to pro duce an adequate amount ot pale rosins to meet the expected demand. The storm of last August demoralized tbe trade to some extent and caused con siderable trouble with the stocks on hand at the naval stores yards. It was some time beiore differences were adjusted. i THE FALSE PACKING. There has been a continued fight throughout the year between the buyers and sellers regarding false-packed rosin and irregularities in gauging spirits tur pentine. There were many not discussions as to the rights and claims of exporters as to tbe condition ot packages when de livered : lor shipment, and many argu ments among tbe factors as to the de pressed condition of tbe market through out the year. Action has. been taken by tbe Board of Trade to adjust all differences by em ploying a supervising instructor, whose duty snail be to see mat the laws re garding weighing, gauging, cooperage, sampling,, etc, are earned out to the satisfaction of all interested in the buti ness. Some of tbe factors bave complained that the value of naval stores has been depreciated by the exporters, who made the prices to suit themselves, and through speculation have reaped the profits, which rightly should go to tbe producer. Tbere is a movement now on foot to organize a stock company com posed of factors, who claim that, as they lurntsh all the capital to operate tbe tur pentine farms, are producers in fact. The company proposes to build tanks for the : purpose of storing spirits tur pentine, and in this way be enabled to control the stocks and offer them for sale direct to consumers, instead of allowing the profits to be reaped by the middle men. There has been considerable agi tation in the matter, but nothing definite bas been decided. Predictions as to the results of the coming season are, as -usual, somewhat varied; but the old story of "sapply and demand" will continue to regulate the prices whether the crop is large or small.

The course of the market during the past week has been a great disaonointment to those who have felt that the improvement in business would bring an active demand from spinners and would absorb tbe offerings of cotton in the southern mar kets; and with this demand apparent, that the Southern holders would have confidence in their position and insist upon an advance tn prices for the re maining remnant of their, crop. But the contrary seems to have been the case, for while the New York and New Orleans markets advanced sharolv in response to this Improvement, the Southern interior markets parted with their cotton freely to spinners and ex porters, on a basis below that asked by the port markets, and when this was found to be the case the markets at home and abroad. declined nnder the realizations of those who had looked for. an advance. This decline, however, bas not checked the demand from the American spinners, who continue to buy freely from the interior markets, where tbe stocks are being depleted rapidly, and tbe export movement, though com paring witb very large exports last sea son, this week, still maintains its excess of about one million bales above the exports of last season to date. Naturally the decline in prices has had a disappointing effect upon the trade, who discouraged at the iailure of tbe bouthern markets to maintain them selves, have generally parted witb what cotton they held and are now at sea again regarding the future course of prices. It becomes apparent that tbe American spinners are without any large supplies of cotton and that they will be continuous buyers of cotton from now on to secure the necessary amount of raw ma terial to carry them into the new year, and this demand will be constant, increas ing in volume if any accident should oc cur to the crop about to be planted, and it can be relied upon as a feature not usually found in the market at this time of the year, which will support prices. Trade tn Europe continues to be re ported as good, a statement which is verified by the reported export of cotton goods from Great Britain during the month of March, when both yarns and cloths show an increase in the amount of manufactured goods distributed throughout the world. These figures show an Increase in tbe movement of goods of something over 25 per cent. in excess of tbe first three months ot 1893. Funeral ot Mrs. Margaret S. Martin An Eatunable and Charitable Lady Laid to The funeral of Mrs. Margaret E. Mar tin took place yesterday morning at 11 o'clock from her late residence, No. 116 Red Cross street, where she died on -Wednesday morning last. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Dr. Norman, pastor of Grace Methodist Church .and Rev. Mr. Oliver, 1 pastor of the First Baptist Church, and the pall bearers were Messrs. John Maun der, R, C, Orrell. H. L. Fentress, J. C Craft, James W. Collins, and W. A, French. Mrs. Martin was a Christian in the true sense of the word, she was re served in disposition, but secretly went about doing charity, and hundreds of the poor and needy of Wilmington will sorely miss this charitable lady. Her maiden name was Hilton, and she was born in Dublin, Ireland, on the 8th of December, 1830. She came to Wilmington with her brother, John Hilton, in November. 1857; was here during the war, and did much toward relieving the suffering of many in those trying times, and especially during the yellow fever epidemic in the year 1862. In 1868 she returned to Dublin, and married James Martin, a - solicitor, There she resided until his death, when she returned to Wilmington, in the year 1887. She leaves a maiden sister. Miss Mary R. Hilton, in Norwich, N. Y., a nephew, Mr. W. G. Hilton, of Brooklyn, N. Y.. and nieces Mrs. M. E. Horton and Miss Annie R. Hilton, of this city, besides host of friends who mourn her loss.

The performance of Marshall's Mam moth Minstrels at the Opera House last night was a success, both financially and artistically.- The boys without doubt are all endowed with unusual talent in the direction of minstrelsy, and the fact that the performance was ar ranged and produced on the stage with out the help of older heads makes it most remarkable considering their won derful success. The m:sical portion of tbe programme was especially well ren dered, and too much cannot be said in praise of Master Milton Elliot, who had sole charge of its arrangement. He in deed displayed unusual precocity as a musical director. Master Robert Rankin as interlocutor was perfectly at home and presided with ease as master of cerenjgnics.' The sing ing by Masters Cowau, James, Mc- Eacbern and Marshall was heartily en- oyed by the audience. Masters Cowan and Elliott as negro minstrels are equal to a great many professionals. Master McEachern will make a "Billy Van" if he continues in the steps he is now pur suing. Master Willie Croom sang "Who Stole that Ham" with ereat effect and was recalled repeatedly. The singing of Master Burgess Marshall was well re ceived by tbe audience and was acknowl edged to be a feature of tbe entertain ment. He possesses a sweet appealing voice which never fails to enlist the sympathies of his bearers. Master George James in his impersonation of the darkey character was perfect. Master Cowan delighted the audience a num ber of times, appearing as a princi pal character in almost every de partment throughout the entertain ment. The ease and grace with which he interprets bis parts show tbe result of much training, and natural ability. Masters Elliott, Rankin. Cowan and James, as the musical quartette, pleased the audience exceedingly aid were en cored heartily. The acrobatic performance of Masters Croom and Marshall was a revelation to the audience, few of whom knew that Wilmington possessed such talent in this direction. Masters Harvy and George West amused the audience with their natural pantomime. The performance will be repeated at a Matinee this afternoon, beginning at 3,30 m., with many new and laughable features. Admission: Children 15 cents; adults 20 cents. The boys -deserve a crowded house. Tbe Cburon.ee. ' - Second Advent Church. Elder I. P. Kin. Put or Service Sunday at 11 a. ra. and 8 p. ra. Sunday school at 8 p. m.
